I’m talking new age, celtic, flutes, bagpipes or anything chill, or really anything. Show me what you got lemmings!

Edit: Thanks for all the music recommendations! I got way more than I was expecting so it will take me a while to sort through them. I’m excited to check them out. Thanks again!

    That’s Namlook again.

    I wanted to interject that you forgot Laswell’s infatuation with dub-ambient, but you actually overshot it since he also made a whole bunch of disco, funk, jazz, metal, drum’n’bass and whatnot. I think his biggest ambient stint was the series of collaborations with, surprise, Namlook again.

    Gas - em:it 0095

    Fun fact: there are two ambient artists called Gas, the other one of which released their titular album a year later.

    You might also want to add some Terre Thaemlitz, Jeremy Taylor aka firQ, Osamu Sato, Mr Projectile, Chris Zabriskie, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe & Ariel Kalma, Peter Rehberg, Bruce Gilbert, Laurie Spiegel and ‘Windows 95 startup sound, slowed 4000%’ to your tracklist.

                Eh, the thread is basically for anyone interested, like I’m gonna refresh my collection with your list: I’ve listened to some of those fifteen years ago or so, and forgot about them when my hard drives kicked the bucket. Also, I’ve sometimes received replies from the author of such a thread weeks if not months later.

                I’ve been a fan of Laswell since mid-2000s, it took me about five years to go through most of his discography, and I still missed some of it. Some poor soul uploaded over two hundred of his releases on Bandcamp starting in 2016, which of course was a cause of huge joy for me, since I love Bandcamp too. Anyway, Laswell was shoving dub-ambient into basically any of his work starting around mid-late nineties. It’s also funny to see how he influenced some of the big flock of people with whom he collaborated: e.g. Eraldo Bernocchi had his own ambient project, released around four records, then did the Equations of Eternity project with Laswell and Mick Harris (of Napalm Death and Scorn), and since then all his ambienty projects sounded like Laswell’s approach and library of effects.

                    I really need to find some decent backup solution for the lot of it.

                    After my share of run-ins with dead drives and disappearing YouTube videos, I just switched to keeping my ‘collection’ in my notes, with links to a service that works at the moment. And since I’m into outliner notes with some extra features, it’s all categorized with a hierarchy and tags, and annotated if I have any useful info. The notes are synced between desktop machines and the phone, and I’ll probably cook up some extra backups too.

                    This approach lived through three different operating systems, without me needing to migrate any big file collections for it.
